PLANET Technology Corporation

PLANET Technology Corporation, the global leading IP-based networking company, announced that five of its leading-edge products were awarded “2012 Taiwan Excellence Award” － IP67 Industrial M12 Fast Ethernet PoE Switch (ISW-804PT-M12), Industrial VDSL2 / PoE Ethernet Extender (IVC-2004PT), PoE Solar Power System (BSP-400), Wireless Fisheye Panorama IP Camera (ICA-HM830W), Desktop Unified Office Gateway (UMG-1000). It not only marked the best record for PLANET since its participation in the selection in 2004, but also showed PLANET’s excellence in Industrial networking communication products, which is PLANET’s R&D focus in recent years in addition to SMBs market.

“2012 Taiwan Excellence Award” was organized by TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) commissioned by the Ministry of Economics Affairs (MOEA) of the R.O.C. government. It was the highest award for innovative products made in Taiwan with outstanding performance in R&D and Product Innovation, Top Quality, Global Marketing and Brand Awareness. PLANET products were awarded in recognition for its highly innovative R&D with environment-friendly design catering to green technology trend.

The award-winning products range from Industrial Ethernet, IP Surveillance and applications for SMB that once again demonstrated PLANET’s strengths in product innovation and professionalism and also strongly supportive to global brand recognition.

? Industrial Ethernet： IP67 Industrial M12 Fast Ethernet PoE Switch (ISW-804PT-M12) adopts robust industrial M12 PoE Ethernet Connector Interface for greater protection against vibration and shock, which makes it perfect for operating in demanding environments. Another Industrial Ethernet product－ Industrial VDSL2 / PoE Ethernet Extender (IVC-2004PT) is designed to utilize the coaxial cables or phone wires to extend the Ethernet up to 2.4km, satisfying the demand of long distance transmission in heavy industrial demanding environments. The two products are designed for harsh industrial environments, featuring industrial-grade housing design, wide temperature range operation (-40 ~ 70 Degree C), and Power over Ethernet.

? Industrial green wireless hotspot / IP Surveillance application：Utilizing solar power and PoE technology, PoE Solar Power System (BSP-400) transmits power and data via Ethernet cable to outdoor wireless AP and IP Cameras. Therefore, without geographical constraints, it’s the best and green solutions for wireless hotspot in the city or wireless transmission and IP Surveillance application in remote areas, such as mountains, forests, and islands.

? IP Surveillance：The industry-leading Wireless Fisheye Panorama IP Camera (ICA-HM830W) integrates IEEE 802.11n wireless technology and unique fisheye lens to achieve 360 degree panoramic wide angle surveillance without blind spot. It substantially upgrades security monitoring efficiency and saves great deployment cost for SMBs instead of installing multiple traditional IP Cameras.

? Application for SMB：Desktop Unified Office Gateway (UMG-1000) is a re-innovated model from Unified Office Gateway (UMG-2000), PLANET’s another Taiwan Excellence awarded product in 2010. Designed for SMBs of up to 100 people, the UMG-1000 integrates Switches, Network Storage Service, IP PBX / VoIP / Fax Services, Email Services and Internet Security in one device. It provides a simple and easy all in one IP networking solution for SMBs.
